Old Timers-Ground Round?

[Lawdwaz]

Remember the restaurant the "Ground Round" from the 70's?

 

What did they put in their chili, was is sour cream, onions or cheddar cheese? (or all of them?)

 

I can't recall what it was they put a dollop of on the chili when it came to the table....I just made a big pot of it with 4lbs of venison and it is a bit bland.   HELP!!!!!

Not sure what they put on their chili...but I like Cheddar and sour cream with mine.

[TeeBugg]

There is still one here on long island, it's in lake grove. Maybe call them or menu??

I don't think I ever had their chili but for yours, hit it with good amount of chili powder or something.  Cheddar and onion always are good additions.  For me personally, I don't think I'd be real fond of sour cream

I have to get some new/better chili powder.  The stuff I'm using now has zero taste to it.  It is the cheap stuff you get for a buck.............I know, I know,  It's my own fault.

 

I was just at Tops. bought some sour cream and a big fat white onion.  We're going out for dinner tonight and backstraps for tomorrow night supper so the chili will be lunch.

 

I have to get last years game in the freezer whittled down as I have victims waiting.......

I had my birthday party there when I was a kid, am I an old timer too? Man this sucks.

Not sure if you do this, I add the chili powder to the meat as its cooking and when it is almost done I then add red hot to it. For me it doesn't make it to hot doing it this way.

Maybe I started doing this because I buy the cheap stuff. Last time I bought McCormicks Mexican chili powder thinking it would be better but I don't think so.

Maybe you should score and just drop a jelopeno pepper in when cooking, scoring will give flavor without making it too hot

I was gonna' say, what the hell!  I was born in the 70's and I remember Ground Round, it can't be that old!

Best part was throwing the peanut shells on the floor while waiting for your dinner and as a kid it used to be "pay what you weigh" nights. Now, they would probably get sued as a result of all the peanut allergies.

[Paula]

Now that you talk about the peanut shells I now remember that place. I only ate there once but spent a lot of time at the bar
